If you know someone who is down, remind them of this. Every day is an opportunity to make a new beginning. To Start over. To write a new chapter in your autobiography. You don’t need to die, be born again and wait until you reach adulthood to travel a new path, you can do it right from where you are. The pivotal theing is to make the decision to do so. Remember, your intention is cause. What you realistically set your mind to accomplish, you can achieve. And if you can’t see a way clear, sometimes all you need to do is describe the problem to someone else. In doing so the fog lifts and you see a path forward. I am happy to be that someone else for you if you need me to. Just call me.

...believe that the government cares about them, the media would never mislead or lie to them and the pharmaceutical industry that makes billions off sickness wants to cure them.

People ask me, “What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?” and my answer must at once be, “It is of no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation. But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron...”

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won’t see why we go. What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for. - George Mallory

It does take courage, independence, a level of curiosity and logical thinking for most people to follow the path less travelled.

Mark Farrelly said of it (and with him I agreewhole heartedly): Nobody in the world can sum up the current world situation more eloquently than the sublimely talented Mr Michael Leunig. There is more sanity and truth in this cartoon than millions of words uttered in recent times, because it shows so beautifully the greatest threat to us all is not the virus itself, but the fear of it which is being so ruthlessly exploited by media, government, international “health” organisations and anyone with a vested interest in keeping people frightened. Recognise that anyone who is telling you to “stay safe”, “take care” or any other similar message right now, or who is reminding you of deaths or “cases” or any such thing only has one intention in mind, to make you believe the environment is far more dangerous than it actually is.

A great presentation by Riccardo Bosi, leader of Australia One, a new political party which aims to rid us of professional politicians in the major parties who have ruined Australia by serving not us, but representing foreign powers and ideologies, as well as other special interest groups.

(Tom: Please watch this video. In one place it is very hard to confront what is being done with full term aborted babies but we need to know the evil that is being allowed by politicians and done by medical professionals. It is evil. And if we vote the same way we have done in the past we are condoning infanticide/murder.)

Qantas wrote me:

Australians love to travel. With summer holidays and Christmas just around the corner, many of us can’t wait to visit loved ones and support our regional communities, local businesses and our tourism industry.

But that can only happen if our domestic borders are safely opened again.

The health response to this crisis is our most important priority. And like many Australians we believe a shared framework should determine when our borders open.

If you want to be reunited with loved ones after months of being apart, or to have a holiday in our incredible backyard, please show your support.

Magic is always there. Sometimes it just takes an artist to find it and show the rest of us where to look. - Amy Neftzger

I saw a post that said Victorians have lost confidence in the Premier.

I thought to myself,
’That’s gotta be the greatest understatement since Noah’s neighbour leaned over the fence and said to him, “Bit wet this year Noah! Gonna be hard to get the washing dry.”’

Bioethics experts Paul Weindling and Volker Roelcke suggest that current bioethical thinking may use an incomplete picture of the historical context of the Nuremberg code. Volker Roelcke writes: “rather than being the result of a coercive state, Nazi medicine illustrates how medical researchers and their representative bodies […] co-operated with and even manipulated a totalitarian state and political system relying on expert opinion, in order to gain resources for the conduct of research without any moral and legal regulation.” He states that Nazi doctors “followed the intrinsic logic of their scientific disciplines and used the legally and ethically unrestricted access to human beings created by the context of the political system and the conditions of war.”4 By centring exclusively on the war crimes and not on their broader context, the judges at Nuremberg issued the code in order solely to set the boundaries for “permissible experiments” and tackle the difficult question of the biomedical research conducted on human subjects outside Germany during the war. The court thus failed to produce a broader legal doctrine protecting individuals against harm induced by scientific practices at large, including not only human beings as subjects of medical experiments but also as consumers and beneficiaries of science’s outcomes.

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!
